Nuclear Medicine

Nuclear Medicine in India

Nuclear medicine provides unique insights into the function of organs and tissues that cannot be obtained through conventional anatomical imaging alone, making it one of the most powerful diagnostic and therapeutic tools in modern medicine. At Park Hospitals, our Department of Nuclear Medicine delivers cutting-edge functional imaging and targeted radionuclide therapy in support of clinical teams across multiple specialties.

Our department is equipped with state-of-the-art gamma cameras and SPECT-CT systems, enabling functional imaging with anatomical localization via CT fusion. Diagnostic studies include myocardial perfusion imaging for coronary artery disease, bone scintigraphy for metastatic disease, thyroid scanning and uptake studies, renal scintigraphy, hepatobiliary imaging, lung ventilation-perfusion scanning, and sentinel lymph node mapping.

PET-CT, combining positron emission tomography with CT, is among the most powerful tools in oncological diagnosis, enabling whole-body cancer staging, treatment response assessment, and restaging with exceptional sensitivity. We use FDG and a growing range of targeted radiopharmaceuticals to detect specific molecular targets in cancer cells.

Therapeutic nuclear medicine includes radioiodine therapy for thyroid cancer and hyperthyroidism, radiosynovectomy for inflammatory joint disease, and peptide receptor radionuclide therapy for neuroendocrine tumors, delivering targeted radiation directly to diseased tissue. All procedures are performed in full compliance with radiation safety regulations. At Park Hospitals, nuclear medicine bridges structure and function, giving our teams the molecular insights needed to diagnose earlier and treat more precisely.
